🔮 Future Enhancements (Optional)
While the project is complete, there are optional enhancements for future work:
Phase 3 Opportunities (180-280 lines potential)
-
Additional CooldownManager Integration (16 specs)
- Effort: 2-3 hours
- Savings: 50-80 lines
-
Custom Tracker Consolidation (select cases)
- Effort: 4-6 hours
- Savings: 100-150 lines
- Risk: Medium (careful testing needed)
-
Helper Method Standardization
- Effort: 1-2 hours
- Savings: 30-50 lines
Total Additional Potential: 180-280 lines (~1% more reduction)
